Sounds like an attempt to reprogram the bernie bots too.
Dems try too hard to indentify with people with "chips on their shoulder"

Partly what cost Hildebeast the election was that in the summer of 2016 the Libs created a new grievance group of transgenders who wanted to use the wrong bathrooms and she couldn't denounce it. Right-thinking people didn't want men in dresses going into the ladies' room while their 8 year old daughters were in there.

"It is not the multitude of ale houses that occasions a disposition to drunkenness among the common people; but that disposition arising from other causes necessarily gives employment to a multitude of ale houses." -- Adam Smith, 1776

Warren has had a rough recent few months after an attempt to put the controversy over her claims to Native American ancestry via a DNA test turned into a fiasco in October.

The test hurt her among tribal groups that believe ancestry tests are a challenge to their right to determine who may claim membership in a tribe, while also causing many on the left to question her judgment. And it didn’t do a thing to silence Republican critics — like President Donald Trump — who continued to mercilessly mock her pretensions to minority status.

But despite advice from liberal outlets like the Boston Globe to sit out 2020 and let the crop of Democratic newcomers have a shot at challenging Trump, the DNA fiasco has not deterred Warren. Warren foolishly passed on entering the 2016 race when she might have had a better chance to beat Hillary Clinton than did Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose insurgent movement benefitted from the fact that most serious Democratic politicians wanted no part of fighting the former first family’s formidable political machine. Warren knows this is her last chance at the big prize.

But while she can appeal to women and her party’s left-wing base with her tough rhetoric about Trump and Wall Street, the notion that Warren should be considered an early favorite for 2020 is not only far-fetched, it’s a snare she should avoid if at all possible. Far from being the sort of candidate who uniquely matches the spirit currently animating Democratic voters, Warren is instead a paradigm of entitlement and bad timing. In other words, she is the moral equivalent of Jeb Bush.

Like Warren, Bush had heard from many Republicans asking him to step aside and let younger Republicans compete for the presidential nomination. Indeed, at one point even his mother, the late Barbara Bush, told him it would be better for the country if a third Bush didn’t seek the presidency.

But Bush knew this would be his only chance, and stayed in the contest even as the competition with Rubio and others cannibalized the donations and ultimately the votes of mainstream Republicans as an outlier candidate in the form of Donald Trump wound up benefiting from their squabbling.

On the final night of the Democratic National Convention in July of 2016, Bernie Sanders’ staffers went out to a Mediterranean restaurant and hookah bar in Center City Philadelphia to celebrate and mourn the end of the campaign.

Sitting at the bar sometime after midnight, convention floor leader Robert Becker—who oversaw Sanders’ Iowa campaign, then helped lead his efforts in Michigan, California, and New York as deputy national field director—began talking with a female staffer who had worked under him along with her boyfriend.

Becker, now 50 years old, told the 20-something woman that he had always wanted to have sex with her and made a reference to riding his “pole,” according to the woman and three other people who witnessed what happened or were told about it shortly afterward by people who did. Later in the night, Becker approached the woman and abruptly grabbed her wrists. Then he moved his hands to her head and forcibly kissed her, putting his tongue in her mouth as he held her, the woman and other sources said.
